Change programmes in both private and public sectors have a poor record of delivering their intended value. The reasons given most often for their failure include lack of executive support or buy-in from key users, loose requirements definition, weak programme management, and plain wishful thinking. They rarely include technical limitations. Value Management puts forward the view that the true problem lies in failing to understand the causal links between the intended stakeholder outcomes and the actual programme outputs. Repeating the pattern of failure can be avoided by asking two questions: - Before implementation, what capabilities must a change programme deliver, when and in what order so as to cause intended value against a defined purpose with speed and certainty? - During and after implementation, what minor adjustments and/or major shifts are needed to be certain that the programme remains on purpose and on value? and two answers to be given: - Target, time and align change programmes to deliver maximum intended value to stakeholders - the baseline business case - track and respond to changes during and beyond implementation to ensure that the programme actually delivers or exceeds intended value - value realisation. The authors show how, by asking and answering these questions, direction and delivery of any programme can be clarified and greater economic value achieved.
HEAR MY SILENCE is the factual account of the problems Roger Small generated and experienced as the food service director of the Sullivan County Nursing Home in unity, New Hampshire. The home was county owned and poorly managed as detailed in Hear My Silence. Three elected county commissioners were the governing board (a mailman, a beer salesmen and an obscure lawyer). Small's efforts to improve management were met with resentment. After he informed the commissioners he planned to notify the newspapers of a severe cockroach problem, he was demoted (after 6 years of putting out 1,000 meals a day and getting excellent grades from state inspections). This book tells about Small's public' hearings and his subsequent success in causing the #1 commissioner to get defeated in his bid for reelection.
Through The Ages Through the Ages is an abbreviated history of the world, starting with the formation of the universe and our planet earth and concluding with the 20th century. With the exception of the first chapter that deals with unrecorded time, chapters are grouped by centuries and facts are arranged chronologically so that events occurring at the same time-throughout the earth - are covered at the same time. This book is written to provide readers with a better understanding of the "Big Picture," or broadest possible perspective of history. It fills a void left by all other history books, as it is relatively short in length and covers the beginning of time to present day in an easy-to-read format that is appealing to people of all ages. The result is a history book that is enjoyable to read for history buffs, one that can be read for pleasure or for reference in a novel -like format.

Solving America's Debt and Deficit

Roger Ewing is offering an unique approach to solving America's debt and deficit. No one has mentioned anything like this. Roger's program will reduce our country's debt and deficit in record time and without the pain that other programs offer. Roger knows how to solve problems. He was a Management Consultant to over 300 companies. And he is a registered independent voter without any bias. He tells it like it is. He is not a politician and does not need to worry about being elected or reelected. Americans are fed up with the President of the United States of America, the United States Senate, and the House of Representatives. Americans want our politicians to do what is right for America. Americans don't want to live in a welfare state, socialist state, Marxist state, Communist state, or Jihadist state. We want to live like Americans have lived for over 200 years in an American state. We are self-reliant and that has made America the greatest country in the world. In his new book, "Solving America's Debt and Deficit", Roger outlines new ways to reduce our country's financial problems. HE ADDRESSES INDIVIDUAL AND CORPORATE TAX REFORM, THE FEDERAL BUDGET, SPENDING, SOCIAL SECURITY, AND OUR NATIONAL DEFENSE. He proposes a list of deductions as well as new revenue sources that could make America the envy of the world again. The American people will applaud his ideas but our politicians will consider them controversial. The politicians are very dependent on the special interest money to get reelected over and over again that their solving our country's problems takes a back seat. In their self-centered minds they believe they are entitled to spend a lifetime in their exalted positions in Washington. To say "no" to all that special interest money may be the end of their dream job and dream life. It is amazing that the politicians do not understand that by doing the right thing for America they would be reelected. And that's without the special interest money. The American people are smart enough to understand who is working for the good of our country. The biggest problem the American voters have is that some politicians are so adept at deception. Deception is a big part of the political landscape. The great sounding speech that promises everything but delivers nothing is par for the course. We must concentrate on a politician's actions and past history not his rhetoric. The United States of America was founded on high standards and principles. Each of us has to live up to those high standards and principles. We Americans can solve our debt and deficit problems. We can solve any problem. Let's stand together to fight the evil doers among us and let's do what is right for America.

In this book, the first dedicated entirely to the petrology of lamproites and their relationships to other potassium-rich rocks, the objective of the authors is to provide a comprehensive critical review of the occurrence, mineralogy, geochemistry, and petrogenesis of the clan. Although lamproites represent one of the rarest of all rock types, they are both economically and scientifically important and we believe the time is ripe for a review of the advances made in their petrology over the past two decades. Many of these advances stem from the recognition of diamond-bearing lamproites in Western Australia and the reclassification of several anomalous diamond-bearing kim berlites as lamproites. Consequently lamproites, previously of interest only to a small number of mineralogists specializing in exotica outside the mainstream of igneous petrol ogy, have become prime targets for diamond exploration on a worldwide basis. Contemporaneously with these developments, petrologists realized that lamproites possess isotopic signatures complementary to those of midoceanic ridge basalts, alkali basalts, kimberlites, and other mantle-derived melts. These isotopic studies provided new insights into the long-term development of the mantle by suggesting that the source regions of lamproites were metasomatically enriched in light rare earth and other incompatible elements up to 1-2 Ga prior to the melting events leading to generation of the magma.

There is a silent hunger among many that seeks to satisfy the longing for a greater understanding about death, dying, and the beyond. Yet some may find it difficult to speak about these concerns or to openly ask questions. Within a simple, candid guide, pastor emeritus Dr. Roger Grummer offers a window through which the curious can gain a greater glimpse into what death, dying, and the beyond is all about while attaining answers to common, end-of-life questions such as: Why does death exist? How can we participate in the final days of our own lives? What will the afterlife be like? While encouraging Christians to consult the Bible for God's truth about dying, Dr. Grummer also presents practical information from those who have had hands-on experience in caring for the terminally ill as well as other interesting and spiritual insights about what comes after death that include stories of near-death experiences and views from other cultures. Brokenness to Bliss shares a seasoned pastor's observations about death, dying, and the beyond that shed light on what happens to our bodies, souls, and spirits as we move from our earthly lives to eternity.

This is a book about the petrology of kimberlites. It is not about upper mantle xenoliths, diamonds, or prospecting for kimberlites. The object of the book is to provide a comprehensive survey and critique of the advances which have been made in kimberlite studies over the last twenty-five years. Kimberlites are rare rock types; however, their relative obscurity is overriden by their economic and petrological importance to a degree which is not shared with the commoner varieties of igneous rocks. Kimberlites are consequently of interest to a diverse group of earth scientists, ranging from isotope g~ochemists concerned with the evolution of the mantle, to volcanologists pondering the origins of diatremes, to exploration geologists seeking new occurrences of the diamondiferous varieties. A common factor essential to all of these activities is a thorough understanding of the characteristics of kimberlites. For the petrologist, kimberlites are exciting and challenging objects for study. Their petrographic diversity, complex mineralogy and geochemistry, and unusual style of intrusion provide endless opportunities for stimulating hypothesis and conjecture concerning their origin and evolution. Kimberlites are a part of a wide spectrum of continental intra-cratonic magmatism. Only by understanding all of the parts of this activity in detail may we make progress in our understanding of the whole.
